Making a good conversation with a stranger can be difficult. Here are some ways to try if you don’t know what to do:
① Talk about a topic common to both of you. The topic can be the food or the weather. For example, “How do you like the food?” But keep it on the positive side! 【小题1】
②【小题2】      “What’s keeping you busy these days?” is a good question if you are talking to a person who doesn’t have an office job.
③【小题3】      For example, if you ask, “Where are you from?”, an interesting follow-up question might be, “What would your life be like if you still lived there?”
④ Ask getting-to-know-you questions. You can ask, “What are your favorite newspapers and magazines? What websites do you often visit?”【小题4】
⑤ React (作出反应) to what a person is saying. If you are trying to make the conversation interesting, but the person never reacts, you will feel unhappy.【小题5】      And if he offers some surprising information, react with surprise.

　　As the afternoon was hot, I did my homework in the morning. I used to get up at 6:30 and take a walk in the garden for half an hour. After breakfast, I began reading English and Chinese and did some exercises in maths. Those took me three hours or more. I worked quite well and made good progress.

　　I spent the afternoon outside. I went to swim and it was funny. I would not go home until it was about five or six o'clock. Sometimes a friend of mine would come to see me and we would spend some hours listening to music.

　　In this way I spent my vacation happily. And I not only studied well but also became a good swimmer. Now I am in good health and high spirits（精神）.
